All effective sirens and horns produce loud sounds that may cause, in certain situations, 

permanent hearing loss. You and your passengers should consider taking appropriate 

safety precautions, such as wearing hearing protection.

•  In order to be an effective warning device, this product produces bright light that can be 

hazardous to your eyesight when viewed at a close range. Do not stare directly into this 

lighting product at a close range, or permanent damage to your eyesight may occur.

•  It is important that you fully understand how to safely operate this warning system 

before use.

•  Operate your vehicle and its light/sound system in accordance with your department’s 

Standard Operating Procedures.

•  If a selected function does not perform properly or if any of the lamps remain illuminated 

when the control is off, disconnect the power connector from the control unit and 

contact the nearest service center.

•  At the start of your shift, ensure that the entire warning light system and the siren 

system are securely attached and operating properly.

•  Suction cup mounting is for temporary applications only. The unit should be removed 

from the window and stored securely when not in use. Temperature changes and 

sunlight can cause suction cups to lose holding power. Periodically check the unit to 

make sure the suction cups have a firm grip on the mounting surface. An improperly 

secured light could fall off of the vehicle causing injury and damage.

•  The holding power of magnetic mounting systems is dependent upon surface finish, 

surface flatness, and thickness of the steel mounting surface. Therefore, to promote 

proper magnetic mounting:

•  Keep the mounting surface and magnets clean, dry, and free of foreign particles 

that prevent good surface contact.

•  Ensure that mounting surface is flat.
•  DO not use a magnet mounting system on vehicles with vinyl tops.
•  To prevent sliding of light assembly on mounting surface, avoid quick acceleration 

and hard stops.

Failure to follow these precautions may result in property damage, serious injury,  

or death.
